I have pretty well decided on a t10 and t12, with 80 watt RHPs from reptile basics, and I will go ahead and get the basking shelf for the carpet python. If i can't keep it at a safe temperature I will remove it.

This thermostat is from reptile basics and I have a suspicion that it just a rebranded herpstat:

Does anyone know if it is?
